I read somewhere on one of the boards, but I can't find it anymore. Off fees at Boys Bangkok are now 500 Baht. Can anyone confirm this? If it is true, what justifies this price? Do the boys run on barrels of oil or something?

No. Plates of rice.

Nothing to do with the boys. The bar gets the off fee. The boy gets only what you pay him yourself.

You think they have to "justify" their prices to you?  I think they'll find that surprising.  Don't purchase if you don't like the price.

If you're too cheap to pay the 500 baht off fee - maybe you should wait until they get off work at around 2:00am

No a sea of cum or a barrel of shit

My, so much invective just for asking a simple question and nobody has even given an answer.

The management charge what they believe the market will bear, I guess.  As I have a little black book of bar boy phone numbers (disintermediation, don't forget, George) who pop around to fill in the time between drinks and dinner (the purpose for which sodomy was invented, as we all remember) before the bars open, it's a levy I avoid (like income tax)

BTW, I found it again, it is on Cruising for Sex in a thread called "bar reports" (thanks to one poster for pointing it out to me). Indeed, the bars are free to ask whatever they want. Luckily I am free to choose the bars I visit as well. Or visit Saphan Kwai, DJ, GayRomeo, Silom Complex, G Star......the choices are endless :-)

Your post has not been up that long, give it some time, someone should know. Sorry, I don't, last I heard it was 400B, 500 for door men, waiter and some of the performers/dancers for the soi Twilight venues only. It seems that the BBB group sets the prices and everyone else follows.

Prices don't stay all that consistent on that soi. Sometimes the prices for drinks go up weekends, sometimes not.

gayromeo is the solution to off fees.

1 There is no off fee from guys on the steps opposite "The Wall Street Hotel".

2 They do not have to justify prices. The customer can either accept it or go elsewhere. The freedom to go elsewhere is the good point about competition.

3 It would be nice if some recent visitors could confirm if the off fee is correct. That would help future visitors make informed choices, which could only help to keep prices down.

And yEs the Off fees are High should it be 500 baht ,and 250 to 300 per Drink,it can work out quite costly ,especially if you are on vacation .Before you know it you can have 2/3 Drinks have a  Guy sitting neXt to you for a  drink ,pay a bar fee ,Buy another boy a  drink ,pay him his Tip ,take him out else where it can work out expencive ,so just watch it , before your night has finnished you might have spent about 6000/7000 baht ,and that is about £105.00 expencive for a  one night off.
work that out over two weeks .

I personally think they are Over charging these days ,i know this discution has been on before ,but the cost of living over there and the drink prices in some of these bars are over the top ,and i can quite easily see from making visits over the lasy SIX years that things have cahnged and people can not afford to entertain these prices too often, and Yes before you all start screeming we do have choice ,and if you know thailand well enough you dont need to spend this kind of monet to find a nice guy .and yes i am fully aware other countries charge a  lot more for this type of servive ,BUt i have never felt the need to use it in other countries ,with the average salary in thailand been around 10000 baht a month ,and i think that is been generous, we should not expect to pay above London prices where the average salary is much more at around 6 times higher.
And Yes we have choices ,thats why i dont really venture these Go Go bars unless i have friends that want to go there ,i am happy with my boy friend ,and dont really want to waste money on these places that rip you off,you see so many bars open and close these days ,and just think why ?/
